Hey! Is your oversees question is something related to vacuum? :biggrin:

I have an Imperial Aero interview on 25th November guys! Is there anyone else here with the same interview date!!

Hmm a little

If I only get a predicted 6 in HL math (my teacher seems like he doesn't want to give a 7 unless you get all 7s in all tests) with 40 points along with a 6 in Physics, will that be enough to get an offer, assume my personal statement is good?

Well! Good luck with designing the new mode of transport then!

Hello fellow IB student!
Imperial's minimum requirement is 7 in Math HL as far as I remember. So I think it may be to your disadvantage to some extent.
I think if you haven't submitted your application yet, you should maybe talk to the counselor/math teacher and tell them the situation you're in? (maybe you did this already). I think if you're on a higher end of 6 and explain to them that you're giving a shot at Imperial and tell them you will work hard, etc. they might give you a 7.
If you have submitted your application in already, I'm not entirely sure, maybe others have better suggestions than mine, but maybe email them explaining your situation?
I'm afraid, I don't have a definite answer. Sorry about that. Hope this helps! Good luck!

I haven't submitted it yet, I will try to convince him. I can already be considered a 7 considering my grade, it is just that my teacher seems to focus a lot on the grade from the start of grade 11. Additionally I just got another test (integration) back in which I got 52/54, which should help me to convince him.

HI there! I haven't started core 4 in school yet. Is there any specific topic you can recommend me from Core 4 which I should do before my interview?

Thank you in advance!!

Hey, i'd recommend knowing the basics of integration and differentiation. I did double maths, so I did 6 modules in one year, which is why I was asked on those topics. If you are doing single maths, and haven't covered c4 yet, then I think they will understand and not ask you anything they wouldn't expect you to know, so don't worry too much.

Of course if you are able to learn new things then you might be able to impress them, but if you haven't done the topic yet then they might not ask you.

Thank you for your reply! Is there going to be any question from core 4 in the maths exam (the one which I need to take before my interview)!

Thanks in advance :smile:

I don't remember exactly, there were no questions on vectors that's for sure. Just make sure you're confident on integration, differentiation and trigonometry ( like identities, graphs etc).

When is your interview?

Tbh I guess I'm glad they didn't release it this week.

Cause I was working really hard on the overseas "interview" question and if I found out the acceptance post interview is like 20% I would have become so demotivated :frown:

But man did you get your interview yet?

Good luck man!

Not yet, but I hope to be "in the second round" hahahahaha. The first aero recruitment day is next Wednesday (interviews included), so give them 1-2 weeks to send out offers and then and with the best of luck I'll get my invitation to interview hahahahahaha
